Ahead of its time, a future classic, Sep 13 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Black Helicopters Over America: Strikeforce for the New World Order (Paperback)
Jim Keith (1949-1999) died suddenly on Sept 7, 1999, as the government was finally revealing it covered up some of the truths of Waco. Most people don't get Keith's writings, that as a reporter he reported, with humor and insights, with tongue-in-cheek intellect. In the future when the mystery of the helicopters, be theyblack, green, or dark blue is revealed, interested historians will refer to this book. Not for the wild theories of UN stormtroopers or other items Keith merely was repeating, but for the fact that things were seen, unknown and unidentified, which may have had a link to missions not yet fully understood. Was there special helicopters over Waco? Yes, of course there was. This book gives a sense that things are happening which may be merely a part of a plan still unexplained today. Unfortunately, Keith will not be around to see his works appreciated within this new enlightenment. That's too bad. And sad.But his books remain, for all to mine for the little gems. Don't be dismayed by the theories. Look at the data.

The future under a New World Order., Sep 15 2002

I approach this book as an outsider to this genre. I'm not big conspiracy theory buff. I'm not a survivalist. Nor am I a die-hard political fanatic. Like most Americans, I go about my life vaguely aware of what's happening in our government. Given that, I went into this book with an open mind.
Jim Keith, who I find after some research, was one of the leading writers in government activities. With Black Helicopters Over America he raises some interesting questions. What is our military doing? What exactly does the government have in mind for our future? What part does our government play in the political machinations of the United Nations?
Keith lays out the plans for a New World Order. He describes an international police force under U.N. direction. He shows the groundwork for the disarmament of the people and the rights that we could lose in the new world state. Keith also describes a future of concentration camps for those that would speak out against the New World Order.
Black Helicopters is a straightforward book laden with factual events and policies. However, though the events and policies may be factual, the context and details of those entries can sometimes seem questionable. As with most any issue, facts can be arranged to display the picture the writer wants to be seen.
The material in the book is a bit dated. Even though it was published in 1994, events in the book date back as far as the 1950s. Most of the events presented are from the 1970s. This in itself softens the credibility of the text. While writing this review, I did find out that Keith published a follow up book in 1998 titled Black Helicopters II : The End Game Strategy. I would imagine that the follow up takes the reader current, up to 1998. It may be worth the time for interested parties to read this book to see if Keith presents more recent events that would add credibility to his arguments.
If anything, Keith does present enough information to make the reader think. In fact, Keith urges the reader to step back and take at look at the information that is available. In my opinion, the underlying point of Black Helicopters is: To make educated decisions based on researched facts and to understand your government and what it is doing. It is something to think about.

3 items I can verifiy are true, April 24 2008

I read this book after purchasing it at a local gunshow in Kansas City Missouri back in 2003. Since I was living in the area for 18+ years and serving in the Army I was familiar with some of the information that was in the book.
On one occasion I did see one of these black helicopters flying east from Kansas City MO along I-70 and I followed it to Whiteman AFB in Knob Noster MO.
There are a couple of other entries in the book that talk about detention centers in the area and a storage depot in Atchison KS located along the Missouri River. These two are true.
